that a mine is found in which case the

two men hut Co us all and for that very
reason such enterprises should bc given
all the announcement possible. The
work OF tile Grand Central Ore Co., is in
the Iron River district and the prospects

I Iron ore has an upward tendency and a
new feet Of vessels is being built and with
another railroad in here our mines will
not he troubled in getting cars and ves-
sells 90 send their ore TO market and no
doubt the properties will be wrought Ia
their fullest capacity. All Of this will
make busy season and our business
men will put their shoulders 20 the wheel
and do all they can for one and another
and why should not our town grow. The
Great Western, Paint River, Youngstown,
Sheldon & shaier, Dunn and Mastodon,
all old shipping mines, win no doubt be
actively wrought next season. And now
all we want is village organization and
Business Mems Association.
